If you missed this juicy bit of news recently, here’s the skinny: According to The National Law Journal, William Reed, a partner at Baker Donelson Bearman Caldwell & Berkowitz, carried on an affair with the wife of his client, Sam Seay, while representing Seay in a wrongful termination case. A former BancorpSouth Inc. executive who was fired after being diagnosed with depression, Seay was also Reed’s childhood friend.
“I gave Sam some free advice when he was terminated, and then he hired other lawyers,” says Reed, who claims he didn’t play that big a role in Seay’s termination matter. (Reed says Seay eventually settled with his employer.)
